Pharrell will be gold next week. And thats sold albums not shipped like some of these suckas.
Shipped. Sold. That still isn’t gold despite that happy bullshit.
2nd anon
the homie pharell is actually happy, man. he does 20 to 30 million a year.
thats why i said next week fuckboi! hes 5k away from selling gold so you know he already got that plaque in his studio for albums shipped.
btw happy is what like 5x plat now?
sales are bad for everybody
Don’t know about y’all, but Music is being sold in the back of the stores. A customer walking in with the intention on buying a cd will be greeted to a bushel of bananas & Hawaiian Punch first. Therefore reporting album sales is older than multi colored fat laces.
WTF ARE U TALKIN BOUT WILLIS
where dey gibbin out Hawai Punch? havnt had dat in a minute

Codename: Ego Stripper AOTY
hopefully the fall will bring some more real rap albums back onto the charts
word up
i listen music on da internet
Ces cru deff need more sales, but at lease 6k people like myself have something good to listen too
Pretty damn solid album
these weekly polls are pathetic, can we have some better options? maybe some more hip-hop choices?
Iggy smashed 50 Cent
The sex must be that good.
this weeks sales????…lOL….damn..niggaz cannot even sale 25,000 in one week….2014 is not as huge as 2012 & 2013…….THESE DAYS by AB-SOUL was my fave summer 2014 album….MEEK MILL CHRIS BROWN and hopefully THE NEW KENDRICK LAMAR can makeup for a “lackluster” start in HIP HOP sales!….#BLACK HIPPY 4LIFE
2012 was about the best year for hip hop since like 2005 or so, 2013 sucked. Run the jewels and black milk had solid albums- no sales, J cole was able to sell some with a decent album. Jigga,drake, kanye and eminem all sold albums but the albums (didn’t check for drake) were not impressive to me.
R&B/POP has taken over as the music that BLACKS support …..the HIP HOP fans have to get back to supporting THE REAL SHIT!…
Common deserves more support for a solid album.
Let’s all chip in and send him a shipment for bricks to symbolize another flop album.
Let’s all chip in and send this guy’s ^ mom a shipment for dicks to symbolize she’s a crack whore that raised a crack baby.
Most of the people that listened to common at one time, either don’t care anymore or listen to other music. He was never a high seller, does not make enough pop music.
We can thank Puff Daddy for blurring the lines of R&B and Hip Hop to the point where both genres are rendered irrelevant.
“thats why i said next week fuckboi! hes 5k away from selling gold so you know he already got that plaque in his studio for albums shipped”
Do you see Pharell bragging about a gold plaque for albums shipped, crack baby? His album should be platinum if you factor in that 1 lame song. He’s underperformed, but by all means continue riding his dick.
He’s doing fine, not underperforming at all. 1 song can’t automatically make an album go platinum. If that’s the case, then why isn’t Iggy Azalea gold since she also has a big song?
pussy boy quoteman is back
I go on vaca and he felt it was safe to spread his bullsh*t deranged recording industry knowledge again
how did he underperform if the single has sold over 5.6 million copies in the USA alone and its still selling…
My last pay check was $9500 working 12 hours a week online. My sisters friend has been averaging 15k for months now and she works about 20 hours a week. I can’t believe how easy it was once I tried it out. This is what I do,,,,,,
